Abstract: Objective To explore the reasons for misdiagnosis of styloid process syndrome and to get proper diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 114 cases of styloid process syndrome were retrospectively analyzed from the course of the disease, misdiagnosed diseases and surgical treatment effect. Results 114 cases were diagnosed as other diseases.There were 77 cases diagnosed as chronic pharyngitis, chronic tonsillitis and glossopharyngeal nerve pain, 67.5% of 114 cases; The duration of this group was relatively short, from 1 to 6 months, the median duration was 2.5 month; After partial removal of styloid process, 87.0% of them were cured. There were 14 cases diagnosed as anxiety disorders, menopause syndrome and neurosis; The duration of this group was relatively long with the median duration of 7, 2, and 8 years, and 50% of them were cured. Conclusion Styloid process syndrome has the characteristics of diversity and easily to be crossed with other diseases. Grasping the characteristics helps to get definite diagnosis.
